1 Product Overview
FS-Airware cloud management network provides full-lifecycle intelligent network management services
covering network procurement, planning, deployment, acceptance, and O&M. It integrates the big data,
cloud computing, and AI technologies to improve the efficiency in network construction and O&M
management for enterprises and partners. Airware Cloud Network provides rich northbound interfaces
regardless of whether it is deployed in public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud mode. It helps
customers better operate networks and facilitates digital transformation of enterprises.
The digital transformation of enterprises is accompanied by various network use changes such as
service cloudification, use of wireless STAs, and diversified access modes. The network O&M
architecture is also required to meet the needs of elastic expansion. Traditional network management is
confronted with difficulties in access, analysis, and expansion. For example, a network management
system (NMS) reads data through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), but it cannot
access devices that span a wide area network (WAN). When traditional relational databases are used to
store data, data cannot be stored or analyzed if the volume of collected data is ultralarge. In addition,
for large parks and multi-branch chain enterprises, the access of over ten thousand devices to the
network is beyond the management capacity of the traditional NMS.
Cloud management network is a new network form that integrates IT cloud with the communication
technology (CT) network. It migrates the management, control, and O&M functions in the traditional
network architecture to the cloud, and provides the functions as services for many different enterprises.
The local network infrastructure of enterprises provides only data forwarding capability. Airware Cloud
Network uses the cloud native, big data, AI, and other cutting-edge technologies to build a highly
reliable, scalable, and intelligent analysis platform architecture. It can meet requirements for the access
of mass devices as well as the storage and real-time analysis of big data, and supports intelligent
applications such as prediction, optimization, and diagnosis.

FS AIRWARE CLOUD-MANAGEMENT NETWORK SOLUTION USER MANUAL
CLI command sets can be delivered in two modes: incremental CLI delivery and full replacement. APs do
not support the full replacement mode.
Incremental delivery: A device incrementally executes a user-defined CLI command set based on
the current configuration. This mode applies to incremental configuration scenarios.
Full replacement: The config.text configuration file of a device is directly replaced. After
replacement, the device automatically restarts for the configuration to take effect. This mode is
suitable for the full replacement of the system configuration or for scenarios, in which incremental
configuration cannot meet requirements, for example, incremental configuration may cause
network path changes (resulting in device disconnection), and configuration involves multiple
interactions and command transformation (resulting in interaction and command identification
timeout).

FS AIRWARE CLOUD-MANAGEMENT NETWORK SOLUTION USER MANUAL
This function performs the following checks on air interfaces in the network for common risks:
○ Check Coverage: Check whether a coverage problem occurs on an AP based on the RSSI
of STAs associated with the AP, and figure out whether the coverage is too large or
insufficient based on Coverage.
○ Channel Usage Check: Check the average channel usage of an AP radio in an hour. If
the usage exceeds 80%, the AP radio is considered to be at risk in channel usage. If the
proportion of radios with high channel usage in a group exceeds 10%, the group may
have risks. In this case, it is necessary to determine whether channels in the area are too
congested (due to too much co-channel interference or over-high load), and whether
more devices are required for coverage.
○ Noise Floor Check: Test the noise floor of each AP radio all day long. If the noise floor of
an AP radio exceeds the threshold, the AP radio is considered to have the risk of high
noise floor. If the proportion of an AP radio's tests with high noise floor to the total test
count exceeds 10%, the AP radio is considered to be at risk.
